This is the hubby and I at my Aunt's lake house this past 4th of July. I am at my worst here. This is before my hubby started his new job and is required to loose weight and work out daily. He looks fantastic. I am miserable and can't wait to look as good.

Ok here I go! I hate pics but I thought it was about time I did this.

The before is THE ONLY pic I have of me at my highest....

The other was taken last night! :girl_hug:

I'm not where I want to be yet, but it's been 1 year, so I'm posting pics. I'm down 44 pounds from surgery date. Hopefully year 2 is even better!

Not sure if these will come out, and sorry if they are so big, I don't know how to make them smaller? I'm down 17 1/4 inches lost this month. I've lost a total of 41 pounds including my pre-op diet.

I'm looking forward to this journey!

Ok here goes w/ my most recent. The first two - 255-265ish and the last one is 175ish.

Just some updated pics of me at the gym this morning. For what its worth, I don't think that BMI is correct. I'm down to a 36" waist now and have 22" arms so I don't really consider that BMI number from TickerFactory to be accurate, but maybe someone knows more about it and can clue me in as to how those numbers are calculated.

here is a comparison of me in 'real' clothes... and i am actually smiling in both

Posting these pics is like therapy. Letting go of my "old" body is going to be harder than I thought. It's hard to believe that I am so much smaller...

ME!!!

I am hoping to get some full length shots in soon

Everyone looks amazing in this thread and it is so inspiring! I have always HATED cameras and did not take any true 'before' pictures. My friend encouraged me to take new pictures and dig up old pictures so I could SEE the difference and well I was kind of shocked once I put this collage together. I am still a work in progress but this is what I have so far...

This is Lisanjason pics
